Default Front lip installed

Got me some ebay lips for $99. Fitment was good, not perfect, it took about an hour to install

Which eBay lip did you get?

Looks good, but the fit is not perfect?

I got the "SK style lip". The lip itself had lot of gaps once put on the bumper. I had to use the factory bolts and drill additional holes under to have tight fitment and use the screw that came with the lip

Looks good. I had this same lip until it shattered! It sticks out a bit too far for the roads I drive daily...lots of driveways. So...I replaced it with the smaller lip:

Yea i keep forgetting that it sticks out towards the edges when im pulling in and out of steep driveways..makes me cringe everytime i hear scraping sound.. at least if it cracks on me its cheap to replace!
